    We order a Asado Mixto…. The server told us is a big plate… so we decided to order just one… imagine the disappointment when I saw the plate… just the 30% of the plate had meat… the rest just bread, chile, and potatoes… definitely I’ll not recommend this place…. The service was good… very attentive but several time they returned to literally push us away…

    Amazing as always! One of my all time favorites but haven’t been here in a few years so glad I chose it to celebrate my bday this year. Amazing food and drinks, can’t go wrong with any selection. Waitress was great and friendly. The peppers, empanadas, pork belly and short ribs are a must! We did the steak for 2 and perfectly cooked Medium.

    Our group increased in size beyond our reservation and the restaurant was kind to accommodate us at a communal table. The servers were very helpful and welcoming. Food was delicious; we shared empanadas, salad, ceviche, octopus. Great ambiance.

    We dined at Lolinda on Sunday evening, and we enjoyed the experience. The staff was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the food too. We ordered pulpo, ribeye, croquetas, palm salad, and chicken skewers. All were very good, but the Yuka bread was on the dry side, which may be normal. The honey butter that came with it was delicious. We would definitely return. The lighting is on the dark side, but overall, I liked the ambiance. We sat on the second level.

    Food and service was fine. Nothing to write home about. This place makes you feel like they just want to get you in and out. Its very loud. They also sat us in a seat upstairs acrosse from the bathroom entrance and facing the waiter station. Which wasn't very pleasant. No need to go back here.
